GENERAL INTRODUCTION 

THE LYNDON B. JOHNSON NATIONAL SECURITY FILES: 

"COUNTRY FILES," 1963-1969 

The presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson represents a signifi- 

cant period in the history of U.S. foreign policy. The Vietnam 

War was the dominant event of this period, to be sure, but it 

is highly misleading to think of the Johnson years in terms of 

Vietnam alone. The 1960s marked the height of post-World War 

II U.S. globalism, and Johnson inherited from his predecessors 

worldwide obligations and a host of complex problems. In ad- 

dition to Vietnam, he faced major crises in Panama, the 

Domican Republic, and the Middle East. 

Although the cold war shaped U.S. responses to these crises 

and continued to influence U.S. foreign policy in general, im- 

portant new developments in foreign policy occurred under 

Johnson. Responding to changes in the international system, 

the administration began to devise new approaches toward the 

Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, the major 

adversaries of the United States. As tensions with these adver- 

saries eased, ties within the Western alliance system loosened, 

causing strains between the United States and its major Euro- 

pean allies. The economic burdens imposed by the Vietnam War 

and by two decades of cold war policies also forced the ad- 

ministration to depart from conventional approaches to the old 

issues of foreign aid and economic development in the Third 

World. The Johnson years thus represented a transition between 

the global "cold warriorism" of the early Kennedy presidency 

and the policy of détente and retrenchment initiated by Richard 

Nixon and Henry Kissinger. 

The management of these crises and the groping toward new 

policies can be studied in depth in the "Country Files" section 

of Johnson's National Security Files. The "Country Files" were 

maintained in the White House by McGeorge Bundy and Walt 

Rostow, national security advisers to Johnson. Bundy and 

Rotow monitored the daily cable traffic through the White 

House Situation Room and coordinated the flow of intelligence 

and information to the president, determing what items should 

be brought to his attention. They served as liaisons with the 

departments and agencies involved in foreign policy, reviewing 

recommendations sent to the president by these groups and 

keeping an eye on their daily operations to ensure that policies 

were coordinated and decisions implemented. 

Bundy and Rostow, however, were more than neutral 

disseminators of information; they each met daily with the 

president and often pushed their own recommendations. In 

1965, Bundy went to Vietnam and the Dominican Republic to 

serve as Johnson's eyes and ears during the crises in those areas. 

Rostow prepared the agenda for, and informed agencies of the 

results of Johnson's famous "Tuesday lunches," the administra- 

tion's primary decision-making vehicle; in addition, he 

represented the White House in the administration's Senior In- 

terdepartmental Group, a top-level coordinating committee. 

Both Bundy and Rostow also publicly defended and explain- 

ed administration policies by holding press conferences and giv- 

ing "backgrounders" to journalists. 

The "Country Files" represent some of the most important 

foreign pohcy files maintained in the offices of Bundy and 

LBJ National Security Files, Vietnam: 1963-1965 

Rostow. As the title suggests, they consist of separate files ar- 

ranged chronologically, for various individual countries. They 

contain extensive cable traffic between the departments and 

agencies in Washington and embassies and missions abroad; 

memoranda of conversations between U.S. and foreign officials 

and among top U.S. officials; intelligence reports assessing 

critical foreign policy issues; internal memoranda, such as those 

from the national security advisers to the president; and agen- 

da for and records of top-level meetings. The ' ' Country Files" 

provide a clear sense of the way in which the administration 

perceived major foreign policy issues and framed its réponses. 

Their chronological arrangement permits the researcher to 

follow on a day-to-day basis the administration's handling of 

crises and to trace the evolution of major policies. 

Vietnam was Johnson's major problem•and eventually his 

undoing. The Vietnam "Country File" (Vietnam: National 

Security Files, November 1963-June 1965 and Vietnam, Special 

Subjects: National Security Files, 1963-1969) richly documents 

the administration's escalation of the war from a commitment 

of sixteen thousand advisers in November 1963 to that of nearly 

two hundred thousand combat troops by the end of 1965. This 

file, which contains material through August 1965, details such 

controversial issues as the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the initia- 

tion of regular bombing attacks of North Vietnam, and the July 

1965 decision to commit large numbers of combat troops to 

South Vietnam. From the documents in the file, one can clear- 

ly sense the growing fears of collapse in South Vietnam, the 

sometimes acute divisions among Johnson's advisers on how 

to respond to the crisis, and the president's own caution. 

The documents offer an in-depth look at the June-July 1965 

deliberations that led to the commitment of combat troops to 

Vietnam. Included are extensive memoranda from critics of 

escalation such as Undersecretary of State George W. Ball and 

advocates such as Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, 

plus a number of key reports, among them a lengthy study 

prepared for the Joint Chiefs of Staff that forecasts the possi- 

ble military results of escalation. Records of top-level meetings 

show how the president painstakingly, and with consummate 

skill, forged the consensus on which escalation was based. 

From the outset, the conflict in Vietnam spilled over into 

neighboring Laos and Cambodia, and the ' 'Country Files' ' on 

these nations elucidate the broader, Indochinese dimensions of 

the war. The Laos file contains material through January 1966. 

Ostensibly, the United States persisted in trying to uphold the 

tenuous 1962 Geneva Agreements on Laos. In fact, in response 

to growing North Vietnamese use of Laos as an infiltration 

route for men and supplies into South Vietnam, the United 

States mounted various military and paramilitary actions along 

and across the Laotian border. In Cambodia, the mercurial 

Prince Norodom Sihanouk struggled to maintain his nation's 

tenuous neutrality; to that end he severed relations with the 

United States in late 1963. The Cambodia file, which contains 

material through December 1965, documents Sihanouk's 

desperate maneuvers and the U.S. response to them.

The Vietnam War was also the dominant factor influenc- 

ing relations between the United States and major Pacific 

allies, Australia, Thailand, and the Philippines. The material 

on Australia is restricted mainly to the period before December 

1965. Although it deals with a number of issues, including 

trade and the U.S. balance-of-payments problem, it primarily 

concerns the Johnson administration's efforts to get 

Australian troops to fight in Vietnam. The Thailand file, which 

contains material through December 1965, covers such topics 

as U.S. assistance to the Thai government in combating an in- 

ternal insurgency and the establishment of U.S. bases in 

Thailand from which to stage air strikes in Vietnam and Laos. 

The Philippines file is more complete, containing material up 

to late 1968, and also more comprehensive. In addition to of- 

fering insights on Vietnam, this file reveals much about the 

special relationship between the United States and the Philip- 

pines and the trade agreements and U.S. base rights that were 

an integral part of it. This file also provides information on 

the emergence of Ferdinand Marcos as president of, and 

ultimately strongman in, the Philippines. 

The Indonesia file is one of the largest, most interesting, and 

most significant files in the ' Asia and the Pacific' ' grouping. 

Strategically located and rich in natural resources, Indonesia 

was a major prize in the cold war during the 1950s and 1960s, 

and its volatile leader, Achmed Sukarno, maintained a delicate 

neutrality and extorted maximum aid from each superpower. 

During the same time that the United States was escalating the 

war in Vietnam, a major crisis developed in Indonesia. 

Sukarno veered sharply toward the left and admitted Com- 

munists to his government while simultaneously threatening 

the nearby pro-Western government of Malaysia. In a dramatic 

turnaround, the Indonesian army in October 1965 narrowly 

thwarted a Communist coup attempt, expelled the Com- 

munists from the government, and overthrew Sukarno. The 

Indonesia file reveals America's anxiety and its subsequent 

relief at what Johnson would later call "a major event in the 

history of modern Asia." 1 

The Johnson administration also faced major crises in 

Panama in 1964, the Dominican Republic in 1965, and the 

Middle East in June 1967, when the long-standing tensions bet- 

ween the Arabs and Israelis exploded into the so-called Six- 

Day War. "Country File" documentation on the above two 

Latin American crises is quite sparse. 2 Because the Israel and 

United Arab Republic files contain material from before June 

1967, they deal only with the origins of the Six-Day War. 3 

There is, however, important material on the war in the Mid- 

dle East, General, "Country File," and in the U.S.S.R. and 

Eastern Europe, 1963-1969 file. 

The cold war persisted during the Johnson years, but it 

underwent significant modification. The international 

political system had changed dramatically from the bipolar 

structure of the period immediately following World War II 

to one with multiple centers of power. The emergence of the 

Sino-Soviet split provided new opportunities and posed new 

challenges for U.S. policy. Following precedents set by John 

F. Kennedy during his last months in office, Johnson deliberately 

set out to ease tensions with the Soviet Union. He cooled U.S. 

rhetoric, worked out a U.S.-Soviet consular agreement, and 

expanded U.S.-Soviet cultural exchanges. He also took the first 

halting steps toward controlling the nuclear arms race, negotiat- 

ing a nuclear nonprohferation treaty with the Soviets and 

initiating strategic-arms-limitation talks. Progress in this lat- 

ter area was halted by the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, 

but Johnson could rightly claim credit for easing cold war ten- 

sions. Very little material on these important events, however, 

is included in the U.S.S.R. and Eastern Europe, 1963-1969, file. 

This is not the case with the other major U.S. adversary, 

China. The Country File on China is one of the largest of the 

entire collection, and the range of material included suggests 

the complexity of the China issue in the 1960s. The United 

States still recognized Chiang Kai-shek's regime on Taiwan as 

the government of China, and there is abundant material on 

the increasingly delicate relationship between the two coun- 

tries. The file also includes the extensive cable traffic to and 

fromAmerica's "listening post" in the British colony of Hong 

Kong. Because the United States did not maintain diplomatic 

relations with the People's Republic of China, this file lacks 

the usual kind of diplomatic documents found in the other 

"Country Files." It does, however, contain numerous in- 

telligence reports concerning mainland China, many of them 

assessing China's military capabilities and expansionist in- 

clinations, especially in light of the Cultural Revolution that 

swept the nation in 1966 and 1967. Internal memoranda in the 

file also suggest the beginnings of an almost imperceptible shift 

away from a long-standing and deeply entrenched China 

policy. The People's Republic was still regarded as the number 

one enemy of the United States, but some U.S. officials increas- 

ingly viewed the isolation and containment of mainland China 

as outmoded and untenable, and began to advocate edging 

cautiously away from Chiang and possibly developing contacts 

with Mao Tse-tung's Communist regime. 

Changes in relations with old adversaries were paralleled by 

growing strains in relations with old allies. As fear of the Soviet 

Union diminished in the 1960s, the ties that bound the Western 

alliance loosened. The major European allies opposed U.S. 

escalation of the war in Vietnam, and the economic strains im- 

posed by the war and a growing balance-of-payments problem 

caused demands in Congress to remove large numbers of U.S. 

troops from Europe. Economic crisis in West Germany and 

the United Kingdom added to the turmoil. The most dramatic 

sign of trouble in the alliance came in February 1966 when the 

imperious President Charles de Gaulle withdrew France from 

military participation in NATO. The various "Country Files" 

on Western Europe document the tensions in the Western 

alliance; the files for France and the United Kingdom are 

especially informative, although the latter contain material on- 

ly through the middle of 1967. 

Conflict between the industrialized nations and the Third 

World also assumed growing importance in the Johnson Years, 

with U.S. policies toward the Third World showing signs of 

changes. The Kennedy administration had courted the new na- 

tions of Asia and Africa with promises of lavish aid. Preoc- 

cupied with Vietnam and overextended economically, the 

Johnson administration increasingly stressed regional solu- 

tions to economic problems in the Southern Hemisphere in 

lieu of unilateral U.S. involvement there, and self-help and 

private investment in lieu of sizable U.S. foreign aid com- 

mitments. These trends are evident in the generally fragmen- 

tary ' ' Country Files' ' on the numerous African nations. They 

are even more evident in the relatively complete file on India, 

which is one of the largest of the "Country Files." Johnson 

continually stressed that India should do more to help solve 

its own agricultural problems, and he withheld long-term com- 

mitments of grain, even in a time of severe food shortages, to 

secure this end. 

The Southern Hemisphere issues that most concerned the 

United States related to Latin America. Johnson and his ad- 

visers appear not to have been obsessed with Cuba, as the Ken- 

nedy administration had been, but they were concerned with 

Fidel Castro's potential for mischief in the hemisphere. The 

LBJ National Security Files, Vietnam: 1963-1965

Cuba file contains extensive intelligence reports on internal 

developments in Cuba and also information about the ac- 

tivities of Cuban exiles in the United States. 

Kennedy and his advisers had sought to promote democracy 

in Latin America as a means of staving off communism. Dur- 

ing the Johnson years, the United States became increasingly 

tolerant of military coups, preferring the stability of right-wing 

governments to the uncertainty and possible danger of 

democratic ferment. This is quite evident in the case of Brazil, 

as documented in its large and significant "Country File"; 

there the United States played an indirect, but a highly signifi- 

cant, role in the 1964 overthrow, by a military clique, of the 

constitutional government headed by President Joäo Goulart. 

The various "Country Files" on Latin America nations also 

make clear the demise of the Alliance for Progress, the shift 

toward private capital in economic development, and the 

steady decline of U.S. prestige in the hemisphere from the 

heady days of the early 1960s. 

The "Country Files" cover many other important subjects. 

Concern with South Africa's policy of apartheid is quite evi- 

dent from material contained in the South Africa file. U.S. 

policy toward and support of the United Nations, which 

underwent significant changes during the 1960s, is thoroughly 

covered in the United Nations file. This file also contains im- 

portant material on the Vietnam War and U.S. intervention 

in the Dominican Republic, and abundant documentation on 

the delicate issue of Chinese representation in the U.N. 

The National Security files: "Country Files," 1963-1969, 

thus provide an indispensable documentary record of a critical 

period in U.S. foreign relations. The world changed 


dramatically during the 1960s, and the Vietnam War, the Sino- 

Soviet split, and the growth of "polycentrism" brought cor- 

responding, if sometimes belated, changes in U.S. foreign 

policy. This documentary record is far from complete, and im- 

portant gaps remain, especially in the last two years of 

Johnson's presidency. Nevertheless, the enormous volume 

and diverse nature of the documents contained in these files 

represent an essential foundation for understanding U.S. 

foreign policy during this transitional period.

For Lyndon Johnson, the Vietnam War represented a great 

tragedy. Johnson had not created the commitment in Viet- 

nam and he would have preferred to shun it, but the war he 

took on so reluctantly and struggled so unsuccessfully to con- 

clude destroyed his cherished Great Society domestic pro- 

grams and tore the nation apart. He could find consolation 

only in the hope that history would vindicate him for taking 

up the thankless burden of defending South Vietnam and 

persevering in the face of vicious criticism. 

Johnson inherited a near hopeless situation in Vietnam. 

Those who had driven Ngo Dinh Diem from power in 

November 1963•the army, the Buddhists, students and 

intellectuals•agreed upon nothing, and South Vietnamese 

politics degenerated into chaos. The generals who had ex- 

ecuted the coup spent their energy on intrigue, and govern- 

ments came and went as through a revolving door. Supported 

by the growing infiltration of men and supplies from North 

Vietnam, the National Liberation Front exploited the anar- 

chy and by early 1965 appeared capable of cutting the coun- 

try in half. 

Johnson was determined to hold the line in Vietnam. The 

Sino-Soviet conflict had split communist parties across the 

world into rival factions, but the President continued to view 

Vietnam through Cold War lenses. Supported by the Soviet 

Union and China, North Vietnam was committing aggres- 

sion against its southern neighbor, and history taught that 

unless aggression were stopped in its early stages, aggressors 

would be encouraged to try it again. Johnson came to regard 

the struggle as a test of wills upon which the global position 

of the United States hinged. 

By the summer of 1964, confronted with a near desperate 

situation in Saigon while campaigning for election against 

the hawkish Barry Goldwater, Johnson vowed that he would 

defend the nation's interests without sending its boys into bat- 

tle. At the same time, he began secret preparations to extend 

the war to North Vietnam. Using as a pretext alleged North 

Vietnamese attacks on American detroyers in the Gulf of 

Tonkin, the President in August ordered retaliatory air raids 

against North Vietnamese military installations. He then 

rammed through Congress a vaguely worded Tonkin Gulf 

Resolution that authorized him to "take all necessary 

measures" to "prevent further aggression" and that became 

a blank check for waging an undeclared war in Vietnam. 

His hand strengthened by an overwhelming victory over 

Goldwater, Johnson in early 1965 escalated the war, initiating 

regular bombing raids over North Vietnam and dramatically 

increasing American troop levels. At no stage in the process 

did he accede to the full requests of his military commanders; 

each step was justified as sufficient. Yet once underway, escala- 

tion achieved a momentum of its own, the failure of one level 

of force providing justification for the next level. By 1967, 

the United States had concentrated in Southeast Asia more 

than 500,000 men and was spending more than $2 billion per 

month on the war. 

The vast quantities of men, money, and material failed to 

achieve the administration's objectives. By 1967, the tonnage 

of bombs dropped on North Vietnam exceeded that dropped 

on Germany, Italy, and Japan, during World War II, but 


INTRODUCTION 

America's reliance on airpower underestimated the commit- 

ment of the North Vietnamese and overestimated the 

capabilities of strategic bombing. If anything, the pounding 

from the air seemed to stiffen the enemy's will, and the North 

Vietnamese showed a remarkable capacity for coping with 

the bombing. The rate of infiltration south increased after 

the start of the bombing and continued to grow thereafter. 

The steady expansion of ground operations also failed to 

turn the war around. General William Westmoreland pur- 

sued a strategy of attrition, seeking to inflict such losses that 

the enemy would quit the fight. But the North Vietnamese 

had a cause to which they were deeply committed and vir- 

tually unlimited manpower. Hanoi was able to match each 

American escalation with an escalation of its own. The North 

Vietnamese infantry proved a match for its American counter- 

part and its leaders quickly learned that they could neutralize 

American airpower and artillery by close-quarter fighting. 

The North Vietnamese fought in the rugged Central 

Highlands on territory favorable to them, and they usually 

chose the time and place of battle. The United States inflicted 

huge losses, but was not able to subdue the enemy. 

Johnson had assumed that he could end the war before 

serious opposition arose at home, but he badly miscalculated. 

By the end of 1967, the war had bogged down, and the United 

States had become polarized over Vietnam as no other issue 

since the Civil War. Some critics attacked the war on moral 

grounds. Others pressed Johnson to pursue it more vigorously. 

The longer it dragged on, the higher the casualty lists, the 

more Americans began to question the heavy investment of 

blood and treasure. By late 1967, the administration was in- 

creasingly alarmed by the growing opposition to the war. 

It took an event of the magnitude of the Tet Offensive to 

persuade Johnson to halt the process of escalation. On 

January 31, 1968, North Vietnamese and National Libera- 

tion Front forces launched a massive, carefully coordinated 

offensive against the major cities and towns of South Viet- 

nam. In the beginning, they achieved smashing successes, car- 

rying the battle into the American embassy in Saigon and 

occupying all of the imperial capital of Hue. The United States 

gradually dislodged the enemy, but at terrific cost. The ob- 

ject of a massive, indiscriminate bombing and artillery fire 

that killed more than 2,000 civilians and destroyed 80 per- 

cent of the buildings, Hue literally had to be destroyed to be 

saved. In all, "liberation" of the cities caused more than 

25,000 civilian deaths and millions of refugees. 

The Tet Offensive had a tremendous impact in the United 

States. The volume of force required to blunt the offensive 

caused Americans to wonder what would be needed to "win' ' 

the war in any meaningful way, and newspapers, even televi- 

sion commentators, came out forcefully against further escala- 

tion. Democratic Senators Euegne McCarthy and Robert 

Kennedy mounted serious challenges to Johnson's renomina- 

tion for the presidency. When General Westmoreland requested 

an additional 206,000 troops, a group of Pentagon civilians 

mobilized against him and won over the new Secretary of 

Defense, Clark Clifford. Johnson finally concluded that fur- 

ther escalation might destroy the Democratic Party and 

hopelessly divide the nation. He rejected Westmoreland's

pleas for additional troops. On March 31,1968, he announc- 

ed a partial halt in the bombing, a willingness to open serious 

peace negotiations, and his own withdrawal from the presiden- 

tial race. Johnson's speech marked a watershed in the war, an 

abandonment of the policy of escalation and in a broader sense 

of the hope of victory. It did not, however, bring an end to the 

war. It would be January 1969, after Johnson had left office, 

before delegates representing the four parties would come 

together in Paris for formal negotiations. 

It is difficult in a brief survey to convey the richness and 

variety of the documents in the 18 boxes that comprise the 

micropublication Vietnam: National Security Files, November 

1963-June 1965. There is important material on the Tonkin 

Gulf incidents. There is voluminous documentation on the 

U.S. military buildup and escalation of the war between 1963 

and 1965. The background of U.S. strategic and political deci- 

sions can be traced by following the cable traffic between 

Washington, Saigon, and other missions in Southeast Asia. 

The State Department, Central Intelligence Agency, and 

Department of Defense are most represented in this cable traf- 

fic. Strategic planning developed and decisions implemented 

by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and by the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff are included. The documents highlight the 

operational plans for the various ground and air campaigns 

initiated in effort to meet the administration's objectives in 

South Vietnam. In short, although this micropublication 

represents a portion of the total documentation of the war, it 

provides a wealth of important information and is basic to any 

analysis of the military and political decisions to intervene in 

the Republic of Vietnam.

SCOPE AND ORGANIZATION OF THE 

COLLECTION 

The documents in this microfilm publication are from the 

Papers of Lyndon B. Johnson, National Security Files: 

' ' Country Files.' ' These documents represent a portion of the 

holdings of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin, Texas. 

The National Security Files (NSF) were the working files of 

Lyndon B. Johnson's special assistants for national security 

affairs, McGeorge Bundy and Walt W. Rostow. Documents 

in these files originated in the offices of Bundy and Rostow 

and their staffs; in the various executive departments and agen- 

cies, especially those having to do with foreign affairs and na- 

tional defense; and in diplomatic and military posts around 

the world. In addition, the NSF contains materials generated 

and/or submitted by various congressional committees and 

offices. 

The NSF "Country Files' ' are arranged by geographic area 

and thereunder alphabetically by country. Memos, cables, in- 

telligence reports, correspondence, and special studies were 

originally bound into folders arranged in chronological order 

within each country. Each folder was assigned a volume 

number. Cables were usually arranged under agency tabs and 

embassy tabs. The State Department, Defense Department, 

FBI, CIA, and U.S. Information Agency were the agencies 

most frequently represented. Memos, memcons (memoran- 

da of conversations), correspondence, and reports were filed 

with tabs highlighting selected documents, events, and cor- 

respondents. The files have been reorganized by the Lyndon 

B. Johnson Library, and in most cases each volume now con- 

sists of two folders, labeled ' 'Cables" and "Memos," respec- 

tively; the original volume numbers have been retained. In 

most cases a "Country File' ' consists of one or more volumes, 

with separate folders for briefings on heads of state or govern- 

ment visiting the United States. For those countries in which 

a high level of diplomatic activity existed or a crisis occurred, 

documentation may be in separate folders. 

The following geographic areas are included in University 

Publications of America's (UPA) Lyndon B. Johnson National 

Security Files series: Africa; Asia and the Pacific; Latin 

America; the Middle East; the U.S.S.R. and Eastern Europe; 

Vietnam; and Western Europe. The UN has been included as 

a separate NSF "Country File" by the Lyndon B. Johnson 

Library and is also a part of UPA's series. At the beginning 

of Reel 1 for each of these geographic areas and the UN, a fin- 

ding aid compiled by the staff of the Lyndon B. Johnson 

Library has been included. These finding aids note all of the 

' 'open' ' material (material that has been processed and opened 

to researchers) and the "closed" material (material that has 

not been processed). UPA has microfilmed all of the ' 'open' ' 

material. Also included at the beginning of Reel 1 for each area 

is a folder title list, which will assist the researcher in locating 

pertinent materials.

The Vietnam "Country File" consists of 261 boxes of 

material, a portion of which is in the processing and declassify- 

ing/sanitizing stage at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library. The 

Lyndon B. Johnson Library has retained the original filing 

systems used by the Office of the Special Assistant to the Presi- 

dent for National Security Affairs staff. These boxes are divid- 

ed into two distinct filegroupings. The first consists primari- 

ly of documents from the November 1963-May 1967 period, 

filed into volumes (boxes 1-44); the second consists of 

documents spanning the November 1963 to January 1969 

period arranged into "Subject Files" (remainder of box 44 to 

box 261). The micropublication, Vietnam: National Security 

Files, November 1963-June 1965, consists of the first 18 1/2 

boxes of material denoted by volume number; Volumes I to 

XXXVII. The remaining volumes (XXXVII to LXXII) will 

be included in a future supplement. 

From November 1963 to May 1967, documents were filed 

in chronological order into seventy-two volumes (Volumes I 

to LXXII). The documents in Volumes I to LXXII (boxes 

1_44) of the Vietnam "Country File"•memos, cables, in- 

telligence reports, correspondence, and special studies•were 

bound in heavyweight folders arranged in chronological order. 

Each folder was assigned a volume number. Within each 

volume, cables were arranged by agency or department tabs. 

The State Department, Defense Department, the FBI, the 

CIA, and U.S. Information Agency (USIA) are the agencies 

and departments most frequently represented. Memos, mem- 

cons (memoranda of conversations), correspondence, and 

reports were filed with tabs highlighting selected documents 

and/or events. This system had several drawbacks. The 

primary drawbacks were the research time involved when 

specific information was necessary for policy guidance or in 

answer to queries from Bundy or Rostow and their staffs and 

the increasing volume of documents being generated and 

needing filing. 

In June 1967, a specific subject file system was instituted 

and materials filed in the NSF after this date were no longer 

arranged into volumes. By October 1967, a more formalized 

numeric-alphabetical subject file system was instituted due to 

the unwieldly number of specific subjects. These two systems 

are apparent in the file titles of the foldered documents in boxes 

45-261. The micropublication, Lyndon B. Johnson National 

Security Files, 1963-1969: Vietnam, Special Subjects, consists 

of these "Subject Files." The "Subject Files" consist of 

documents that span the date range 1963-1969. The majority 

of the materials are in the 1966-1969 period. These November 

1963 to June 1966 documents do not duplicate items that are 

found in Volumes I to LXXII; they were removed and filed 

separately after the institution of the subject file systems due 

to their special importance or topic. 

ACCESSION NUMBERS 

Each document been assigned a single accession number for 

reference purposes in the Bibliography and Index sections and 

is keyed directly to the location of the document within the 

companion microfilm collection. 

The first element of the accession number indicates the 

microfilm reel number on which the document may be found,

and the second element pinpoints the exact frame on the micro- 

film where the document begins. The frame number may be 

viewed on the microfilm at the bottom of the frame. 

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DOCUMENTS 

Individual and Group Entries 

All items in the microfilm collection are identified under the 

accession number assigned in the Bibliography of Documents, 

whether the item is a single document, or a series of documents 

presented as a group entry. 

A group entry provides descriptors and bibliographic infor- 

mation common to all documents in the series, while suc- 

cessive entries for individual documents in the series contain 

bibliographic information and descriptors specific to the 

individual documents. 

Because of the nature of this collection, group entries have 

been prepared for most folders. Individual entries have been

Titles 

Titles appear immediately following the document accession 

number. Titles for main entries appear in bold type; titles for 

subordinate entries appear in lightface type. 

Where documents contain formal titles, those titles have 

been entered. However, most documents in the collection do 

not contain formal titles and have therefore been assigned 

descriptive titles by UPA. These assigned titles begin with the 

principal focus of the document, foUowed by an indication of 

the sender and receiver of the document. 

Initial articles (a, an, the) have been dropped in both for- 

mal and assigned titles.

Bibliographie Data 

Bibliographie data given for each main entry include the 

following items: 

• Date•The date provided is the date the document was 

generated. Where no date was available, [n.d.] has 

been entered. 

• Collation•The collation refers to the total number of 

frames the document occupies on the microfilm. 

• Security classification•The security classification 

shown is the classification status of the document at 

the time it was generated. The absence of a security 

classification indicates that the document was not 

classified or was labeled "unclassified." 

• LBJ number•The number assigned by the Lyndon B. 

Johnson Library. 

Descriptors 

The descriptors listing serves to characterize the subjects of 

the document. Also because they correspond to the subject and 

name terms under which the document may be found in the 

Index by Subjects and Names, the descriptors can be used as 

references for finding additional items of similar subject 

matter. 

The descriptors section lists all significant subjects, 

geographic locations, organizations, and persons covered by 

a specific document. 

Cable and other numbers assigned to the document by the 

originating organization are listed after the subject descriptors. 

INDEX BY SUBJECTS AND NAMES 

The Index by Subjects and Names provides access by (1) major 

subject matter of the documents; (2) names of geographic loca- 

tions; (3) names of persons authoring or originating the 

documents. 

Entries in this index consist of the following structural 

elements: 

• terms; 

• titles; 

• date; 

• accession number assigned to each indexed document 

and used to identify that document in the 

Bibliography of Documents and the microfilm 

collection; 

• cross references {see and see also). 

Subject Terms and Cross-References 

Documents are indexed to the key subj ect concepts of a docu- 

ment. Subject terms and cross-references used in the Index by 

Subjects and Names are based upon an extensively cross- 

referenced hierarchical indexing vocabulary developed 

specificially to handle the Vietnam National Security File 

materials. 

When indexing a document to which a hierarchy of these 

terms might apply, we select the most specific applicable term 

or terms, and usually do not also index to the broader or nar- 

rower referencing terms that, while relevant, do not reflect as 

well the specific topic of discussion. For example, a document 

focusing specifically on "Troop movements' ' would not also 

be indexed to the more general term ' 'Military forces.' ' It is im- 

portant, therefore, to pursue relevant see also references under 

a term, as these generally list additional documents not iden- 

tified under the broader term. See references direct the user 

from terminology that has not been used in our controlled 


vocabulary thesaurus to the specific form of the subject term 

we have used. 

Personal Names 

Names of all persons who are the subject of significant discus- 

sion within the documents are included in the Index by Sub- 

jects and Names along with names of persons who author or 

originate documents. 

Wherever possible, an indication of the position/positions 

held by key persons has been included in the Index, immediate- 

ly following the person's name. 

Alphabetization and Sorting of References 

Index terms are alphabetized on a word-by-word and letter- 

by-letter basis, observing spaces but ignoring punctuation. 

Thus, "Air transport" precedes "Aircraft." Therefore, it is 

important to know where there are word breaks in a term. 

INDEX BY DOCUMENT NUMBERS 

This index lists cable and other numbers assigned to the docu- 

ment by the originating organization. Since many documents 

have more than one originating source number, only the prin- 

cipal reference numbers of the document have been selected 

for inclusion in the Index by Document Numbers. 

Index entries consist of the document numbers followed by 

the title of the document, its date, and the accession number. 

CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF DOCUMENTS 

This index lists the title of each document by the date on which 

the document was generated, from the earliest to the most 

recent. 

Document titles under each date are listed alphabetically, 

followed by the document accession number. 

WITHDRAWALS 

University Publications of America (UPA) has microfilmed, 

in their entirety, all NSF "Country Files' ' documents that were 

declassified, sanitized, or unclassified as of February 1987. In 

its microfilming, UPA has maintained the geographic 

breakdowns designated by the staff of the Lyndon B. Johnson 

Library. Many individual documents and entire folders of 

documents remain classified or unprocessed; UPA has there- 

fore included in its NSF microfilm pubheations the "Docu- 

ment Withdrawal Sheets" for each folder. These withdrawal 

sheets itemize documents that have been withdrawn from the 

folders, due to either national security or privacy restrictions, 

by the staff of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library. UPA intends 

to publish microfilm supplements containing documents from 

the NSF "Country Files" that become declassified or sanitized 

in the future. 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

UPA would like to acknowledge the assistance and coopera- 

tion of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin, Texas. 

Christina Houston, David Humphrey, Linda Hanson, and 

staff were most helpful and patient in locating and retrieving 

the plethora of materials included in the National Security 

Files Series. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.
